Hi,
Back acne commonly occurs due to infection and excessive sweating and lack of air exposure to back. So, first of all, you should maintain a good hygiene and wear cotton clothes and vests.
Also, use talcum powder after bathing. You can also start with a course of antibiotic Minocycline and can use Clindamycin or Muricoprin ointment to heal the acne.
Also, drink plenty of water and avoid oily foods. Derma aloe lotion can be applied at night. However, you can also apply aloe vera gel.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
